American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) transmission patterns have been increasingly associated with domestic and peridomestic environments. Here, we present results from an epidemiological survey of 94 people from 24 households in Trinidad de Las Minas, western Panama. We studied the role of sand fly abundance, housing quality, peridomicile landscape matrix, and vegetation structure on shaping household clinical ACL rate patterns at Trinidad de Las Minas. We found that sand fly abundance was significantly associated with household clinical ACL rates, with a 6% rate increase for each additional Lutzomyia gomezi sand fly found inside a domicile.
美国皮肤利什曼病(ACL)的传播模式与家庭和周边环境越来越相关。在这里,我们展示了对巴拿马西部特立尼达德拉斯米纳斯的 24 户家庭中的 94 人进行的流行病学调查结果。我们研究了沙蝇丰度、住房质量、周边环境景观基质和植被结构对特立尼达德拉斯米纳斯家庭临床 ACL 发病率模式的影响。我们发现,沙蝇丰度与家庭临床 ACL 发病率显著相关,每个住宅内发现的 Lutzomyia gomezi 沙蝇增加 6%,发病率就会增加 6%。
